Tignanello--Vintage 1990
Tuscany. Estate-bottled: Antinori
Tasting note: Pale garnet-brick. Intense gamey savoury aromas with an undercurrent of dark cherry jam, fresh cracked black pepper and a pleasant hint of mushroom. The palate reveals lots of life left in this wine giving a crisp backbone of acid and a medium+ level of finely grained tannins. Good concentration of dried fruit flavours, a pleasant savoury meatiness and some spice. Very long finish. Drink now 2012+. Tasted November 2008. 94 points.
